Algalon the Observer is a hard mode-only encounter in Ulduar, released in patch 3.1. Algalon was sent by the titans after Watcher Loken's death activated a planetary fail-safe protection, indicating possible distress on Azeroth.[1] Algalon's task is to analyze any systemic corruption on the planet. If it's deemed beyond saving, the Titans will "re-originate" the planet to cleanse it of corruption, killing all currently living organisms in the process.
He can only be accessed if least one member of a raid has obtained the [Celestial Planetarium Key] or [Heroic Celestial Planetarium Key] in Heroic mode. Players have a one-hour window to defeat him per lockout period, starting upon first initiation of the encounter.[2] Blizzard has sardonically referred to him as "Algalon the Raid Destroyer".
Gaining entry to the Celestial Planetarium
- Completing I Choose You, Steelbreaker or I Choose You, Runemaster Molgeim enables one [Archivum Data Disc] to drop. (It is not party loot.)
- The quest from the disc directs the player to the Archivum, located beyond the Assembly of Iron.
- After listening to the Archivum Console speak, Prospector Loren offers [80R] The Celestial Planetarium, asking the player to locate the Celestial Planetarium and return to Prospector Loren. Completing this enables four quests to obtain the watchers' sigils, which may be performed in any order:
- [80R] Freya's Sigil - Complete Knock, Knock, Knock on Wood.
- [80R] Hodir's Sigil - Complete I Could Say That This Cache Was Rare.
- [80R] Mimiron's Sigil - Complete Firefighter.
- [80R] Thorim's Sigil - Complete Lose Your Illusion.
- Completing all four quests enables the quest [80R] Algalon. Returning to the Archivum Console rewards [Celestial Planetarium Key].

Quotes
Spawn:
- Trans-location complete. Commencing planetary analysis of Azeroth.
- Stand back, mortals. I am not here to fight you.
- It is in the universe's best interest to re-originate this planet should my analysis find systemic corruption. Do not interfere.
Aggro:
- Your actions are illogical. All possible results for this encounter have been calculated. The Pantheon will receive the Observer's message regardless of outcome.
Black Hole:
- Beware!
Space:
- See your world through my eyes: A universe so vast as to be immeasurable - incomprehensible even to your greatest minds.
Special:
- Witness the fury of cosmos!
- Behold the tools of creation!
Spawn add:
- The stars come to my aid.
Killing a player:
- Loss of life, unavoidable.
- I do what I must.
Berserk:
- You are... out of time.
Despawn:
- Analysis complete. There is partial corruption in the planet's life-support systems as well as complete corruption in most of the planet's defense mechanisms.
- Begin uplink: Return Code: 'Omega'. Planetary re-origination requested.
- Farewell, mortals. Your bravery is admirable, for such flawed creatures.
Defeated:
- I have seen worlds bathed in the Makers' flames. Their denizens fading without so much as a whimper. Entire planetary systems born and raised in the time that it takes your mortal hearts to beat once. Yet all throughout, my own heart, devoid of emotion... of empathy. I... have... felt... NOTHING! A million, million lives wasted. Had they all held within them your tenacity? Had they all loved life as you do?
- Perhaps it is your imperfection that which grants you free will. That allows you to persevere against cosmically calculated odds. You prevailed where the Titans' own perfect creations have failed.
- I've rearranged the reply code. Your planet will be spared. I cannot be certain of my own calculations anymore.
- Do not worry about my fate Bronzan. If the signal is not transmitted in time, re-origination will proceed regardless. Save your world!

Inspiration to the name
The name Algalon is a combination of Algol, a bright three-star system in the constellation Perseus colloquially known as the "Demon Star", and mentioned in H.P. Lovecraft's Beyond the Wall of Sleep; and Eidolon, which is an Astral Double of a living being.[citation needed]
